Society does care, tune into the positive things that are being done for men like acknowledging their mental health needs and enabling their role as carers.
- LegitShady 7y agohow are mens mental health statistics doing? What does "enabling their role as carers" do for those who aren't carers? Is that for men or for a subset of men that accept the heavily biased current status quo? The things you mentioned arent being done for men, they're being done to men.
- sgt101 7y agowell, the statistics for men's mental health are being acknowledged. By you and me. and for those who aren't carers, perhaps look to being carers. All categories are filled with subsets. There are always folks left behind. Let's look to them. What are the struggles and needs that you would like us to focus on and meet?
- LegitShady 7y agoBut what is the trend? Is whatever you claim like acknowledgement valuable in terms of real world effect? What are the statistics on men's health? What if acknowledgment isn't a solution? As to your second part - is sort of see the back and forth like this . You "We are supporting men who are carers" Me "What about men who aren't carers?" You "perhaps look into being carers" This is the opposite of an empowerment message. You're saying if they want support they must conform to being you. I don't want anything from you sir. You represent no one and nothing. I was merely contradicting your statements that the two things you mentioned are being done for men, when in fact they're being done to men. What do I want from you? To acknowledge that becoming carers and being acknowledged as having mental issues isn't a solution for anyone.
- sgt101 7y agoWho is it that is doing this to men? Who is it that is attacking you? Who is it that you hate? And also : you say you don't want anything from me, and then you say you want me to acknowledge your pain? The first step here is for you to acknowledge that you are in pain, you are distressed, and you need some help.
- LegitShady 7y agoYou have seriously misread something. I dont want you to acknowledge pain, I want you to acknowledge that your initial statement was wrong. Your emoting at me there wasn't really part of intelligent discussion.
- sgt101 7y agoI am sorry, but I am right, you are wrong. Your reported perception and reaction to my comment is the sign of mental distress. Reading this discussion convinces me you are in need of help. I urge you to get it from a professional before you hurt someone.
